The Spaniard is dressed in a suit of armor, adorned with intricate designs, and wields a large shield and a spear. His expression is determined and resolute, reflecting the warrior spirit of the Spanish people during this era. The Spanish woman, on the other hand, is clad in a flowing gown, accessorized with a protective apron and a helmet. She holds a smaller shield in her left hand and a spear in her right, demonstrating her readiness to defend her people and her land. The image captures the essence of the Spanish tribe's unity and their unwavering commitment to their community and history. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, bringing the figures and their surroundings to life. The intricate details of their costumes, the textures of their armor, and the rich colors of their clothing all contribute to the overall visual appeal of the print. Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages was a groundbreaking work, providing an accurate and detailed record of the costumes and customs of various historical periods and cultures. This particular image offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Spanish people during the Middle Ages, a time marked by courage, resilience, and a deep sense of pride in one's heritage.
